The Colorado Rural Healthcare Conference
April 15th-17th, 2026 | Broomfield, CO
The Colorado Rural Healthcare Conference is CRHC’s newest event, combining our previous Forum and Annual Conference together to foster collaboration and strengthen the rural healthcare delivery system. With two different tracks catering to hospitals and clinics separately, this conference is designed to bring a variety of rural healthcare partners together to dive deep into topics most relevant to their roles and organizations, and inspire solutions to the health related challenges rural communities face.
In addition to specialized tracks, attendees will come together to share keynote sessions, networking opportunities, and an exhibitor showcase, which will allow participants to exchange ideas, form partnerships, and explore the latest innovations and resources tailored for rural health settings.

- CLINICAL PROVIDER TRAINING WITH ARCHPRO CODING
Join ArchPro Coding from 12:00pm – 3:00pm for a billing and coding workshop catered to providers at the Omni Interlocken Resort during The Colorado Rural Healthcare Conference.
General Overview of Main Sections:
- Overview of Medical and Behavioral Health HIPAA-mandated Code Set Guidelines: CPT, HCPCS-II, ICD-10-CM
- RHC Billing Basics and Key CMS Resources
- Value-based Care and Quality Reporting Overview (ex. HEDIS, HCC, ACO Shared Savings, CPT-II)
- Evaluation & Management Documentation and Coding
- Documenting and Reporting Preventive Medicine Services
- Review of Monthly Chronic Care Management Options
- Compare/Contrast Telehealth & Virtual Communication Services
Target Audience:
ARCHPRO Coding strongly believes team-based training is key. Though the primary focus is to educate medical and
behavioral health clinical providers who document in medical records, please include facility leadership and revenue
cycle staff (i.e. coders and billers) so everyone can be organizationally aligned and build a shared platform of knowledge!
Objectives:
- Deliver an overview of AMA, CMS, and ICD-10-CM documentation, coding, reporting, and reimbursement issues that impact medical and behavioral health providers related to CPT, HCPCS-II, and ICD-10-CM codes.
- Outline the vital distinctions between clinical documentation protocols vs. professional coding rules vs. varying requirements of insurance payers vs. reporting accurate quality metrics (if required by payers).
- Identify solutions to the inherent limitations of EHRs, templates, and billing software with a goal to increase revenue, facilitate quality reporting, and decrease audit risk.
- Review the AMA’s E/M documentation guidelines with a focus on selecting the proper level of service based on time vs. medical decision making and the distinction between proper reporting of “Sick” and “Well” visits.
- Identify the CMS-covered Preventive Services including the Initial Preventive Physical Exam, Annual Wellness Visits, and additional covered preventive services Medicare and other payers will cover on a periodic basis.
- Review key areas of the “ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting” in the context of the revenue cycle and quality care reporting including Social Determinants of Health.
- Outline Care Management revenue options including Principal/Chronic Care Management, Transitional Care Management, Behavioral Health Integration, and the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model.
- Compare/contrast traditional Telehealth vs. Virtual Communication Services.

- SAFETY NET WORKFORCE SYMPOSIUM AND WORKSHOP(SAFETY NET HEALTHCARE FACILITIES ONLY)
Empowering the Workforce Together!
This workshop will provide opportunity for education, collaboration and networking specific to the rural and urban safety net community. Sessions from 11am-4pm will include education and discussion from subject matter experts and best practices from those working in rural health clinics, community health centers and other safety net practices as well as partner organizations in support of the safety net. At the end of the day from 4:14pm – 5:15pm, we will have a networking event that will include students and residents interested in careers in the safety net. We will provide a “mixer” style space for you to share out job and rotation opportunities and build relationships with our future workforce!
Due to limited space, only staff working at a safety net healthcare facility (ie Rural Health Clinics, Community Health Centers, Free Clinics, Critical Access Hospitals and other medical facilities serving vulnerable populations) are eligible to register for this event.
This event is being put together by a team of collaborative organizations joining forces to host a day of learning around education, training, recruitment, retention, and staff development.
Purpose: To bring together all types of safety net clinics and education partners to engage around opportunities on how best to educate, train, welcome, recruitment, and retain the health care workforce.
Target Audience: Staff from clinics, potential future employees, and educational partners who are dedicated to educating, recruiting and retaining the health care workforce.
